Really informative, unbiased and straight to the point video. I am glad I took a moment to peek into Discussions today.
The point that I am glad you touch on, that most don't notice right away, is there are many different degrees of services, and they aren't on a sliding scale of good and bad, they are situational. It is not just quality and price, but three main factors:
- Tabletop vs higher quality
- Single models/units vs armies
- Fast multi-painter studios vs independents that are much more one on one and offer a creative mind as well.
In order of what I believe most new to having their armies painted consider. I am the latter of each one, and you can take one from each point and find a painter out there that does that. There is no bad vs good outside of customer service. It is all the client's situation and needs. It is one reason I do not worry about competition so much and try and befriend as many painters as possible. I cannot paint for everyone and I am not the right painter for everyone. There are plenty of other great guys like Frontline and SLW who are this degree this way or that way that might be perfect for a certain person in terms of budget, project size and quality.
I have seen some of your other videos and I really like your interest in "the beast" from both a client perspective and just simply viewing it from the outside for fun. I love to just talk about it, so drop me a line sometime if you ever want to chat!
